I
am a student and deeply interested in HR, but I don’t know how to go about
gaining work experience. Can you help?

There are several ways to tackle this. Firstly, do you have any friends in
personnel that could assist your introduction in their organisation?
Are
you studying personnel? If so your tutor or the other students may be good
leads as they may have networks with organisations.
Finally,
charities are often looking for extra help with support services in personnel,
so it can be worth offering your services.
